House of the Dragon showrunner says Aemond Targaryen is ‘not a psychopath’

Warning: This article contains major spoilers from the first season finale of House of the Dragon… Season 1 of Dragon House It wrapped up Sunday evening, and ended with a chilling murder over the clouds. Aemond tried to get revenge on Lucerys for cutting off his eye when they were kids, and chased him through a storm on the dragonback to try to prove a point. What he wasn’t planning on, however, was that the great dragon Vhagar had a mind of his own. Even though Emond tells the monster to stop. Vhagar kills Lucerys and his dragon, causing them to fall to the ground.

While Aemond has been cruel and vicious throughout the series, it was clear that he had no intention of killing Lucerys at that moment. Model Ryan Condall and Dragon House Creative team, that was an important moment. They wanted to show that Aemond wasn’t really a psychopath yet, but his actions all had consequences.

Condall said, “Emond is certainly not blameless for what happened to Luke. But Emond was also a child who was bullied and mocked for a part of his life because he didn’t have a dragon.” The Hollywood Reporter. “Now he’s doing that, and he’s riding the biggest dragon in the world. I think he was showing his opponent that he wouldn’t be intimidated and messed with him. Maybe he’s more at play there than trying to become a relative – that would be very difficult. Calculated and stupid by Aemond at first when the pieces move in.” Around the board and allegiances are decided and who will make a marriage contract to secure an army of… for Aemond to fire nukes right out of the gate and go into all-out dragon war would be pretty stupid, but that’s exactly what he does in the end because things get out of hand and out of control control. It’s a complicated sight. Eamond is not blameless, but he’s also not a psychopath without a logical line of reasoning.”

What’s next for the House of the Dragon?

Aemond will push the killing of Lucerys Rhaenyra beyond the point of no return. She wanted to find a peaceful solution to things, but her son’s death was probably the last straw. This means that House Targaryen is about to embark on a full-blown civil war.

Production started Dragon House Season two will begin early next year, so it will still be some time before we see any new episodes on HBO.
